DAMAGING TESTIMONY.

James White, guest at the hotel at
the time of the fire, testified that on the
night of the fire he was strolling about
the grounds. When opposite the fire
plug he heard peculiar grating noise
and looked in the bushes and saw man
in STOPPING position. The man after
wards passed out into the road, aud as
he passed under the gas light he per-
ceived that it was Simmons.
Miss Hattie Bach. housekeeper of the
Del Monte, testified to having heard
Simmons say, few days before the fire.
that he was not yet through with the
company.
Charles Berthellite, a bellboy, was
then placed on the stand. He stated
that on the night of the fire he saw Sim
mons at ten minutes to eleven coming
down stairs from the direction of the
dining.room. A few minutes afterward
he smelled smoke. but thinking it was
from the Fireplace he did not investi-
gate the affair. A few moments later
smoke came from the dining.room and
Simmons came from the dining-room
and ran and called Scheenwald and Cluff.
Champion Williams, book.keeper OF
the burned hotel. was rigidly examined
as to the manner of keeping the books
and making entries.

a Gait COLONY.

The Gait Gazette says: Not few of our
readers will be agreeabiy surprised to learn
of the sudden change 10 the front of some
of our most solid men of town. The Whita-
ker, Ray e Miles tract of seven thousand
acres of very fertile land in the vicinity of
Gait has been set apart by the owners for
colony purposes. Work will begil: imme-
diately on these lands shaping them for a
most desirable colony. Driveways will be
built, evergreen trees planted on either side
of the roadways, irrigation bitches dug, and
the whole tract graded and made available
for the purposes of irrigation.
This local spirit of improvement intro
duced by such substantial men as Whitaker
" Ray will have very healthy influence
on the people of this community, and no
doubt, a new era of growth will inure 10
the advantage OF every citizen in this sec
ton. 1t will also have the good effect of
awakiDg this entire community to sensi-
bility of the duties devolving on each and
every citizen interested in the welfare of
Gait and vicinity, and our farmers will not
be loath in the future in adopting mole di-
verslhed methods of farming their lands
and identifying and improving their homes
and farms.
The Sacramento and Amador Canal
Company will immediately go to work
and extend their water ditch from Michi-
gan Bar to the site of the proposed colony,
and in this way sufficient water will be
brought on the lands for irrigation pur-
poses. The ditch company have obligated
themselveSto supply water on the lands
that is SO long as there is any water in the
canal the owners of the new colony will
have the first right to its use. In securing
this water right, Whitaker 81 Raw have
secured the principal inlet of water for irr-

IT had been supposed that the Indiana
authorities had suppressed the "White
Cap" organization. Yesterdays dispatches,
however, recount new instances of the
" diseiplining" of people by this lawless
band Of convicts and masked midnight
rufiians. 1t is now charged that these Ku
klux are guilty of murder. 1t is probably
true; immunity from punishment for
lesser ofenses might well embolden these
wretches to take life. For six months now
the White Caps have had free rein, defv-
ing the law, setting up their own tribunals.
trying men and women before them in the
rudest manner, and carrying the judgments
to execution without appeal or mercy.
When our Chinese do such things hold in
quisitions enter DEGREES of secret tribunals
and execute the victims, we become greatly
excited here, and are .unsparing in de-
nunciation of the officials who fail to pre-
vent such outrages. But how much worse
are the Chinese than our own countrvmen
in Indiana? If that State is unable to
protect the people against these Ku Klux
klans, she ought to call upon the Federal
Government to assist her in maintaining
republican form of government. As it
is, Southern Indiana is now ruled by a
masked mob, and the officers of the law
are paralyzed by fear and incompetency.

If the half of the expectations of Mr..
Claus Spreckels are realized in regard to
beet sugar manufacture, a new and almost
limitless source of wealth opens up to Cali
fornia. Mr.. Spreckels attributes the fail
ures Of beet-sugar making in this State in
the past to ignorance of the proper methods.
knowledge of these he has now obtained,
he says, and he proposes to begin at once
upon the demonstration. According to
Mr.. Spreckels, the industry can be so pros
ecuted that every grower Of sugar beets
will also be a manufacturer and with posi-
tive assurance of accommodating large
money rewards. Indeed, the enthusiasm
of Mr.. Spreckels runs to a plane upon
which only romances are supposed to move.
and where tales OF magical KEYS to great
riches are told. Yet that gentleman is an
experienced, long-headed business man.
and flas not been looked upon as an enthu-
siast. There is no reason now to be seen.
judging by Mr.. Spreckels past, to doubt
his prophesies regarding the possibilities
of sugar making in California. At least
it will not be many months before the
theories of that gentleman will be fully
tested. If we understand him Alright, he
proposes to give the people the benefit of
his discoveries, and let them judge whether
they can better afford to push the industry,
or refuse to embark in it.

The angry feeling along the German
French frontier has been given additional
irritation by the shooting, from the Ger
man side, of two members of hunting
party which was pursuing game near the
boundary line. These instances of hostility
along the border are becoming altogether
too frequent to be consistent with the Of
fetal peaceful relations between the two
Governments. France has not indicated
that she wants war. On the contrary, the
rural population-greatly outnumbering
the metropolitans-has distinctly put
upon record its desire for maintenance of
peace. But such outrages as that of the
Oath at Raon-sur-Plaine, will tend to stir
up even the landowners and to precipitate
conflict Should Germany refuse to
apologize for the shooting of Saturday and
to make reparation, so far as can be done.
1t Is within the possibilities that the incl
derst may serve TO bring on another strug-
gle between the two powers.

A MODEST INQUIRY.-A letter was re-
ceived yesterday at the Land Office from a
modest man, who wanted to be informed
where be could find $40 acres of Govern
ment land with q stream running through
it, forming a lake where boating and trout
fishing could be enjoyed, portion of the
section 10 be level and arabic and portion
to be covered with timber, the section 10
be on a railroad. He also wanted to know
hcw he could get from the Government a
title 10 such piece of land without the
trouble Of going to live on IT, The officer
replied that the only piece of land answer
ing the requirements was Golden Gate
Park, but he thought that would not satisfy
the modest inquirer, as there was but little
timber there and no trout pond which could
be used for swans and gondolas-.S Z. Err
